Wii-kly Virtual Console Update: 4/2/07
Nintendo's got three new Virtual console titles out today and I'm sure at least one of them is going to get you excited. Could it be... Star Fox 64, perhaps?! I'll definitely be downloading that one. As Super Timsy says, "Star Fox was a masterpiece on the 64" and I'm inclined to agree with him. Here's the short list of todays titles
- Star Fox N64, 1-4 players, 1,000 Wii Points)
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES), 1 player, 600 Wii Points)
- Dragon's Curse (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points)
For a full description of each game, make the jump!
Star Fox(R) 64 (Nintendo(R) 64, 1-4 players, 1,000 Wii Points):
Players take the controls of their Arwing and complete 15 missions to reach the final objective: a showdown on Venom, the home planet of the interplanetary tyrant, Andross. Throughout the adventure, players have to accomplish challenging objectives in order to reach and conquer every mission. Skim over the surface of an alien sea, weave through the concrete canyons of a futuristic metropolis or dodge planetoids the size of mountains. Between missions, players will be treated to real-time 3-D movies that progress the story of the Star Fox team of space mercenaries in their struggle against the evil ape emperor, Andross.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(R) (NES(R), 1 player, 600 Wii Points):
Cowabunga! Players take control of the turtles in a half shell and rescue reporter April O'Neil from the clutches of the evil Shredder. Battle against the Foot Ninja Clan as Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Donatello and Raphael with their trademark weapons and ninja abilities. Search through five stages and dozens of areas throughout the New York City sewers, rooftops and ultimately Shredder's Technodrome to save April. Players must scarf down some pizza to keep up their energy, as they'll need it to defeat Shredder. Turtle Power!

To return to human form, he must find the Salamander Cross, which can break any curse. This side-scrolling action role-playinggame is nonlinear, allowing players to venture freely. Collect gold and items while upgrading equipment and powering up stats.

Each creature possesses distinct abilities such as the ability to fly, swim, walk on ceilings or cling to walls. Players use
each creature's special skills to widen your search for the Salamander Cross and bring the hero back to his human form!

I'm gonna get it cause it rocks, but why is TMNT for the NES 600 points? Shouldn't it be 500 since it is NES, or is Nintendo cashing in on the movie?
the rumble feature doesn't seem to work for gc controllers :/
o_O The TMNT NES game? *twitch, twitch*....
Dragons Curse was also on the Sega Master system at the time as one of the later Wonder Boy games for the system.
Fantastic! Foxy McCloud's best outing, now available on Wii...
Here's hoping for StarFox Wii :D
I got Starfox today myself, that's the one VC title I've been looking forward to more than anything else.
